Summary: Great system for the price paid
Review: I was looking for a mini system with good sound and DVD playback and found it. The sound is great. It has all the features you can expect. Being able to have 5 CD/DVD/MP3 is very useful. It is just what you need if you want value for your money. Even the speakers are very good and solid. It even shows on the TV screen all details of CD/MP3.
Panasonic did a good job with coming up with a system like this.
The only thing i am waiting for is for Panasonic to come with a subwoofer to add to this system. That will be great!

Review: This CD/DVD system is one of the best out there. The sound is just awesome. It has HDCD capability, so CDs recorded in 20 bits rather than 16, sound like they are being played live right in front of you! It has a manual equalizer so you can change bass and treble to just how you like. The bass and treble both sound great. The speakers have virtually no excess noise. The system is compact and rather light so it will fit in tight spaces. Most of the controls are on the remote control, keeping the face of the console clean looking. I haven't hooked it to a TV or computer yet but I expect it to perform just as well. This is something you should really look into if you have the money, instead of buying an ugly, bulky stereo.

Review: This thing is worth 6 stars. I don't think I've ever seen a more bang-for-the-buck piece of electronics gear. IMHO, the best feature wasn't touched on by lazer's great review.

I was kind of taken aback by the lack of MP3 display on the front panel (the lesser panasonics do)--until I hooked it up to a TV. Wow--forget the 8 character lousy component DVD players...this has a full description layout for both MP3 and even regular CDs (that's what that option for CD-Text means). If you can afford it, your search ends right here. Period.

From dizzying features, build-quality, looks and sound, nothing can touch this--no, not the new similar JVC 77u either (and I'm a big JVC mini fan). For comparison in the Panasonic line, the difference between this and the lesser SC-EN7 is like a Yugo vs a Ferrari. Just buy it!
